It's April 16, 2006 as we visit the empty streets of Downtown Pontiac where the elegant Strand Theater sits vacant and boarded up. Downtown Pontiac, filled with beautiful architecture, faced, and still does, an uncertain future.



Further north on Saginaw Avenue the centerpiece of Pontiac, the 1929 art deco gem, the Oakland Towne Center, formerly the Pontiac State Bank Building, beamed in the spring sunlight.
